BOOKS on PHILATELY BOOKS on PHILATELYThe format is 8.5 x 11 and they are punched for standard US 3 Ring Binders, binders not included. As the releases are serial numbered we will consider an order for Release 1 to be a standing order for the set. Series I of this work appeared from 1976 through 1981 in a small format, though we dislike the new page size I must admit that it is more attractive and useful. All are detailed studies of BNA fakes. NOTE: An order constitutes a subscription to future released unless otherwise requested.
